Veterans Day, held on Nov. 11 to mark the end of “the war to end all wars,” will offer at least three events within and near Leelanau County to honor those who served.
VFW Post 7731 in Lake Leelanau will host a solemn ceremony at 11 a.m. Monday, with Vietnam War veteran Gene Kelly providing the keynote address. Kelly was recipient of the Army Commendation Medal and Bronze Star during his tour. He is a Suttons Bay Township resident and former owner of PDF Lumber in Bingham Township.
The Traverse City Elks Club will be providing a free dinner to all retired and active members of the Armed Services from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fee for non-veterans will be $15. The club is located at 625 Bay Street.
